Tim Allen Disinherited Textures (for Patricia Farrell)

Disinherited Textures (for Patricia Farrell)

This is the latest map it is newer than it looks
This is the latest word on the object it is an exposed order
This is the latest apology for a landscape it is past thinking
This is the latest news it is not true not any more
This is the latest that anybody could imagine
This is the latest Zechstein sea it is your indoor swimming pool
This is the latest craze it was kept on ice
This is the latest friendship turning like a ship at sea
This is the latest cave found carved in air by psychology
This is the latest last time ever ultimately timed
This is the latest drug tested against groups of all-comers
This is the latest in literary fashion you’ve probably seen it before
This is the latest drawing of new water colours
This is the latest recording of your own shoulder being tapped
This is the latest tape keeping fates bunched together
This is the latest supper not the last supper that comes later
This is the latest information available it is surprisingly musical
This is the latest political party following footprints in the sand
This is the latest seven days of spirituality to be read
This is the latest line in art lectures listened to by trilobites (bite sized lectures)
This is the latest face to grace
This is the latest wave of topological values it is spotless
This is the latest stamp it is a one issue birthday party
